The combination of statement eyes and lips always makes me think of Robert Palmer's video vixens, even though they usually went the smokey eye/red lip route and had super sweet dance moves/guitar skills. I decided to do a second look with Urban Decay's 15th anniversary eyeshadow collection and since my last look featured its neutral shades, why not go for bigger and bolder color? I paired it with an equally bold lip color - Estée Lauder's new Fuchsia Velvet lipstick - because Robert Palmer's girls would've liked it that way. I wouldn't want to let those sexy ladies down.

For what I used and step by step instructions, continue reading after the jump!

The lipstick is totally up to you. Normally, I would do a more subdued lip color but since I wasn't actually going anywhere, I went with the bright color (more fun for pictures). My suggestion is a pinky nude, but just have fun with it and do what you want!

I just bought the new UD Palette (it's finally available in the UK!!) after seeing your previous tutorial and now I can't wait for it to arrive!I hope to see more tutorials with this palette- with it being so new they're pretty thin on the ground.

Hi Keiko! I've been reading your blog for a while now and have never commented for some reason but I just had to leave you a little note to say how much I enjoy your inventiveness with Make Up Monday! I look forward to it every week and I'm really happy you're using the new UD palette as I just received it as a birthday present this week! I've done lots of looks with it already, can't believe how versatile it is! I can't wait to get a hold of the new UD lip colours you reviewed, they look amazing!

i just tried to do this look myself and i absolutely love it! Thanks so much! It's going to be fun to do this when I go out for a girl's night! I never thought I would be able to make my makeup look so good, but your tutorials are so easy to follow and the step by step instructions have made me so happy the past few days! (I also tried the look that was inspired by Adele yesterday and I received so many compliments!) Thanks so much!!
